I was so proud of her.&nbsp; There was, of course, crying when we headed down the hall toward the room, and tears and wailing when I had to hold her down for the shot.&nbsp; But she only cried as I carried her back to the waiting room and for part of the 20 minutes we had to wait before the nurse would let us go.&nbsp; I was so impressed.&nbsp; She got over it pretty quickly.&nbsp; Though as long as the band-aid was on her thigh, she&#8217;d see it when she went to the bathroom.&nbsp; And it would cause her to get a bit weepy, so she wanted me to put&nbsp; my hand over it so she couldn&#8217;t see it.&nbsp; So cute and funny.&nbsp; She was sad and happy when the band-aid fell off yesterday.&nbsp; (sad voice) &quot;My band-aid&#8217;s gone.&quot;&nbsp; &quot;Yep, it fell off.&quot;&nbsp; &quot;It&#8217;s at Grandma&#8217;s.&quot;&nbsp; &quot;Yep, you&#8217;re all done with the shots.&quot;&nbsp; (happy voice) &quot;My leg doesn&#8217;t hurt anymore!&quot; <\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><em>A few random pictures my my roly-poly smiley boy!<\/em><br \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/photos\/family\/07-jan\/j-smiley-2.jpg\" \/><\/div>\n<p>But today she was grumpy.&nbsp; Probably normal 2-year old grumpies, but they wore me out.&nbsp; A she snuggled up to me a couple times, I asked her if she felt ok, and she shook her head.&nbsp; When I asked what hurt, she said her ears and her nose.&nbsp; Grr.&nbsp; So after a call to the nurse, and when she woke-up looking sad and a little sick, I took her back to get her ears checked, just to make sure she didn&#8217;t still have a raging infection.&nbsp; Thankfully, they&#8217;re just still very fluid-filled and only mildly infected, which is to be expected, the doctor said.&nbsp; They should still clear up this week, though the fluid will take a month or more to clear out.&nbsp; Since she still has a viral cold\/cough\/runny nose, though, the doctor wasn&#8217;t very optimistic that we would manage to get by without yet ANOTHER infection.&nbsp; As long as she&#8217;s sick, it&#8217;s going to be hard to keep that fluid from ending up infected.&nbsp; So I&#8217;m praying that she gets healthy ASAP, because if she&#8217;s sick again in the next month, we&#8217;re headed straight to the Ear, Nose and Throat doctor, and she&#8217;ll be getting tubes in her ears.&nbsp; Not what I want, but ultimately, I want her over these crummy infections, because I hate seeing her feel bad.&nbsp; We do have to go back to our regular pediatrician (who I really like) in 3 weeks or so, to see how her ears are clearing up overall.&nbsp; Hopefully, we can be &quot;all clear&quot; by then.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/photos\/family\/07-jan\/j-tray.jpg\" \/><br \/><em>He loves to look at his reflection in the high chair!<\/em><\/div>\n<p>Josiah&#8217;s got the crummy cold, too.&nbsp;

He likes it until he gets something bulky and hard dropped on him.&nbsp; Then he finally figures out it&#8217;s not so fun.&nbsp; Analise, though, thinks that Josiah wants ALL his toys&#8230; at the same time.&nbsp;
